Mappin And Webb Folding "Bowie"
Ok I know it's not a Bowie knife but it is a common enough description I thought I would run with it.

Very cool knives! I really love that Mappin & Webb and will have to hunt for one (no pun intended). Of course I love the Case toe knife too, but I have several of them. Thanks for posting!

Re: Mappin And Webb Folding "Bowie"
I would agree that the handles are likely checkered horn.There were some English knives that used a synthetic material that looked for all the world like checkered horn but I think this knife has real horn.

I think there was a folder in your knife haul we were looking at today, Herb.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

The button on your bowie appears to be elevated above the handle, and the black dot in the middle of the blade looks like a catch-hole, is it an automatic knife? 
Thanks! 
to the forum, BTW!
